Tetro (2009/USA/Argentina)
The newest film of Francis Ford Coppola
With Vincent Gallo, Maribel Verdú, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Carmen Maura
Tetro is Francis Ford Coppola's first original screenplay since The Conversation. It is his most personal film yet, arising from memories and emotions from his early life, though totally fictional. It is the bittersweet story of two brothers, of family lost and found and the conflicts and secrets within a highly creative Argentine-Italian family.

FLOW: For Love of Water
"CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?"
(Directed by Irene Salina/USA/2008)
Irena Salina's award-winning documentary is an investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century - The World Water Crisis. Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel. Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround.

Climates (Iklimler)
(Directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan/ Turkey 2006)
With Ebru Ceylan. Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Nazan Kirilmis
Winner of the prestigious FIPRESCI Award at Cannes, Climates is Nuri Bilge Ceylan's sublime follow-up to his Cannes multi-award winner Distant. Beautifully drawn and meticulously observed, the film vividly recalls the cinema of Antonioni with its poetic use of landscape and the incisive, exquisitely visual rendering of loneliness, loss and the often-elusive nature of happiness. During a sweltering summer vacation on the Aegean coast, the relationship between middle-aged professor Isa (played by Ceylan himself) and his younger, television producer girlfriend Bahar (Ceylan's real-life wife) brutally implodes. . .
WINNER: Cannes Film Festival FIPRISCI Prize
Istanbul Int. Film Festival Best Turkish Film of the Year
“A MASTERPIECE!...Ceylan takes the crispness of Hi-Def and transforms it into the perfect reflection of the characters' cool distance.”-Indiewire

Black Orpheus (Orpheo Negro)
(Directed by Marcel Camus/Brazil/France/Italy/1960)
With Breno Mello, Marpessa Dawn, Marcel Camus
1960 Academy Award Winner and winner of the Palme d'Or at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival, Marcel Camus' Black Orpheus retells the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice against the madness of Carnival in Rio de Janeiro. With its magnificent color photography and lively soundtrack, this film brought the infectious bossa nova beat to the United States.
In Portuguese with English subtitles.
WINNER: Academy Award Best Foreign Language Film
Palm d'Or Cannes Film Festival
Golden Globes Best Foreign Language Film
“Taking the ancient Greek myth of a youth who travels to the land of the dead to bring back the woman he loves, and transporting it to the slums of modern day Rio de Janeiro, this bittersweet romantic tragedy has charmed audiences the world over with its beauty, color, and—above all—its music.”-David Ehrenstein

Three Monkeys (Üç maymun)
(Directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan/Turkey/2008)
With Yavuz Bingol, Hatice Aslan, Rifat Sungar
After his critically acclaimed mood pieces Distant and Climates, Turkey's leading filmmaker moves in a more plot-driven direction while retaining his mastery of ambience, nuance and astonishing cinematography. Winner of the Best Director prize at Cannes, Three Monkeys tells a twisty, noirish tale that opens with an ambitious politician fleeing a hit-and-run accident. Afraid of hurting his election chances, he pays off his chauffeur Eyüp to take the rap. The film concerns the effects of this devil's bargain on Eyüp's family as simmering tensions and sexual intrigue wreak havoc in a household already haunted by hidden ghosts. In the spirit of Buñuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and Haneke's Caché, Three Monkeys mounts a caustic critique of the bourgeois family, riddled with hypocrisy yet stubbornly resilient in its seemingly boundless capacity to sidestep guilt and accountability.
In Turkish with English subtitles.
WINNER: Best Director Cannes Film Festival
“BRILLIANT! A confident trust in the combination of stark realism and unadorned melodrama.”-Seattle Times

Getting Home (Luo ye gui gen)
(Directed by Zhang Yang/China/2008)
With Zhao Benshan, Hong Qiwen, Song Danden
In this soulful and humane comedy, Zhao, a middle–aged construction worker, struggles to fulfill
a dying co–worker's last wish to be buried in China's Three Gorges region. Setting out with his colleague's body in tow, Zhao travels hundreds of miles across extraordinary countryside, encountering a number of colorful adventures and characters —and even discovering love in
some unlikely quarters. Director Zhang Yang's humorous and moving tale of friendship offers a powerful, and sometimes slapstick, commentary on the value of community and human connectivity in modern China.
In Mandarin with English subtitles.
